This scholarly book is based on in-depth interviews with people, now aged, who were school students at the time of the Occupation and who experienced first-hand this immense cultural change. The book considers the nature of the changing outlook, including democratization, the new role for the Japanese Emperor and all this represented for the place of tradition in Japanese life and the growing emphasis on individualism away from collectivism. Itdiscusses the changing system of education itself, including new structures and new textbooks, and relates the feelings of the participants as they came to terms with defeat and the language and culture of the former enemy. Overall, the book provides a fascinating insight into a key period of Japanese history. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in the modern history of Asia. 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xHistory 676 $a428.0071/052 700 $aO?hara$b Mayumi$f1951-$01579682 702 $aBuchanan$b John 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796810703321 996 $aEnglish language teaching during Japan's Post-War occupation$93859934 997 $aUNINA
